Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit
breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit specic
to the washing machine.
To ensure proper grounding, the washing
machine comes with a power cord
featuring a three-prong grounding plug for
use in a properly installed and grounded
outlet.
Check with a qualied electrician or
service person if you are not sure about
the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does
not t the outlet, call a qualied electrician
to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes
with the washing machine.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washing
machine is between 50 kPa and 800
kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa
may cause the water valve not to close
completely. Or, it may take longer to ll
the drum, causing the washing machine to
turn off. Water taps must be within 120
cm from the rear of the washing machine
so that the provided inlet hoses reach the
washing machine.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washing
machine is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet
hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for
the rst time, check all connections at the
water valve and taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in
height of 60-90 cm. The drain hose must
be connected through the hose clip to the
standpipe, and the standpipe must fully
cover the drain hose.

Flooring
For best performance, the washing
machine must be installed on a solid oor.
Wood oors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced
loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
not a good resistance to vibrations and
may cause the washing machine to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a
platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in
areas where water may freeze as the
washing machine always retains some
water in its water valves, pumps, and/or
hoses. Frozen water left in the connection
parts may cause damage to belts, the
pump, and other components of the
washing machine.
Alcove installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 25 mm
Top 25 mm
Rear 50 mm
Front 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer
are installed in the same location, the front
of the alcove must have at least a 550 mm
unobstructed air opening. Your washing
machine alone does not require a specic
air opening.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these
criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into
cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks,
wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different sized items
together in the drum improves the
washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items
separately using an Easy Iron option for
pure, new woollen items, curtains, and
silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the
clothing, and sort them accordingly before
starting the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry
items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and
buckles on clothing may damage other
laundry items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and
embroideries inside out
• If trousers or jacket zippers are open
while washing, the drum may be
damaged. Zippers should be closed and
xed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become
entangled with other clothes. Make sure
to tie the strings before starting the
wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (machine washable) must be
placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of
the brassieres may break through and
tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks,
gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs
may become caught around the door.
Place them inside a ne laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself
without other laundry. This may cause
abnormal vibrations that could move
the washing machine and result in
injury.

English 25
STEP 4 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine.
Overloading may cause the washing
machine to not wash properly. For the load
capacity for the type of clothing, see page
31.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding
covers, the wash time may be lengthened
or the spin efciency may be reduced.
For bedding or bedding covers, the
recommended maximum spin cycle speed
is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg
or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub”
information code is displayed, redistribute
the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce
the spinning performance.
STEP 5 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the
type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate
items, wool), colour, wash temperature,
and degree of soiling. Make sure to use
the laundry detergent that is designed for
automatic washing machines.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations based on the weight
of the laundry, the degree of soiling,
and the hardness of the water in your
local area. If you are not sure about the
water hardness, contact a local water
authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be
hardened or solidied. This detergent
may remain after the rinse cycle,
blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the Wool cycle,
use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used
with the Wool cycle, powder detergent
may remain on the laundry and discolour
the laundry.
